The full sized signal on the left comes from Tolworth station in Surrey and was the down home signal at that location. This was acquired on the 30th January 1972 for the princely sum of £1, when it was decommissioned by British Railways.
It took 2 years to reassemble and erect the signal, including a major paint strip & repaint.
